Existing greenhouse agriculture requires significant energy use for temperature control in most climate conditions because it has not been viable to use insulation for temperature moderation. The use of insulation generally blocks out sunlight, and supplemental artificial light consumes large amounts of energy that is prohibitively costly today, and will be increasingly so in the future. As a result, greenhouses today are transparent structures that let in sunlight and require significant amounts of energy for temperature control. The challenge is to develop a greenhouse that can be highly transmissive to sunlight, as well as highly insulated to maintain a desired temperature inside.

现有的温室农业在大多数气候条件下需要大量的能源用于温度控制，因为使用隔热材料来调节温度是不可行的。隔热材料的使用通常会阻挡阳光，而补充的人造光会消耗大量的能源，这在今天是非常昂贵的，而且在未来会越来越昂贵。 因此，今天的温室是透明的结构，可以让阳光进入，并需要大量的能量来控制温度。 面临的挑战是开发一种能够高度透射阳光的温室，以及高度隔热以保持内部所需温度的温室。
